There is something about a private collection that forces the collector to think about who he or she is—both as a collector and, indeed, as a person. The result can yield something like comprehensiveness: a constellation of themes—for example, music, literature, fashion, politics, cosmology, and photography itself— that approximate the personality of the individual who brought them together. shego/hego/ego, a minimalist poem by Emmett Williams, repurposed as an artwork by Natal… more

Baptiste Rabichon uses photography in a way that gives new meaning to the idea of a material-carrying content. His work proposes a set of sensations and impressions. His discourse is constructed through the use of complex manufacturing tools and protocols, mixing new technologies and old techniques; an experiment in which fantasy coincides with admiration for the great ancestors.

As a good gardener, that is to say craftsman, the artist strives to use the best processes: film and digital, focus… more

Marking our eighth year as official partner of Paris Photo, J.P. Morgan Private Bank is proud to return and exhibit significant works from the JPMorgan Chase Art Collection. This Must Be The Place features iconic photographs, as well as recent acquisitions. Curated by Director and Chief Curator Dr. Charlotte Eyerman, the exhibition reflects the Collection’s diversity — from pioneering early photography to contemporary explorations of new media.

For its 9th photo campaign, Pernod Ricard continues to put the people behind the Group’s success center stage with the help of Canadian photographer Kourtney Roy, the artist of the 2018 Carte Blanche.

Looking at works of art in a collection implies surrounding oneself with « Things » that form part of the universe of another person. Walter Benjamin said that one of the most intimate relationships that can be established with objects is that of possession. That is why working with the photographs and videos of the Helga de Alvear Collection is an act of both voyeurism and complicity.

This selection of photographs and videos from the Helga de Alvear Collection is, evidently, a pro… more
